An Awesome Massage is AMAZING but…
Finding a wonderful therapist to give it is hard! Samantha knows exactly where the body needs and is extremely talented in finding the pressure points to elevate the knots that have built up. Starting face up, she works from the feet, towards the heart and no ounce of skin is left untouched! It’s nothing close to a “Spa”(meaning its deep tissue vs. Swedish) massage, but it definitely was money well spent. A 90 min. massage is ONLY $100 AND she comes to YOU!! I HIGHLY recommend her. One try and you will be HOOKED! You can call or text her at 727-408-4401or email SamanthaVictoriaMassage@gmail.com.

I HIGHLY recommend My Gym’s Cardio Kid class for ages 7-13


They have created an AMAZING program that combines a cardio workout with strength and flexibility exercises for children who are now at the age when they are surrounded by the sedentary distractions of TV, the Internet and video games. Endurance and gross motor skills are increased through a series of exciting and dynamic activities. As they focus on specific muscle groups, utilize a 4-station circuit-training course, and add fun nutritional tips, the goal in this 1-hour NONSTOP program is to instill health and fitness as a way of life. All children, regardless of their athletic abilities, will benefit greatly from My Gym’s Cardio Kids program.
